How to convert currencies?

We are told that Joan has a total of 19 coins.

Now, the worth of the coins is $2.35

Let dimes be d and let quarters be q. Thus;

10d + 25q = 235

d + q = 19

Substitute d = 19 - q in the 1st equation to get;

10(19 - q) + 25q = 235

190 - 10q + 25q = 235

15q = 45

q = 45/15

q = 3

Thus;

d = 19 - 3

d = 16
